Truly independent Prospective Foster Carer (Form F) assessments, from allocation through to panel.
Through extensive private and public sector practice, Hawkins Social Work Consultancy Limited has undertaken numerous statutory assessments, case managed complex matters, and completed Prospective Foster Carer (Form F) assessments. This experience is now offered to commissioning organisations and professionals who need robust, independent capacity and expertise.
Having worked as a child protection and court social worker, we understand the operational pressures faced by statutory social workers, team managers, and local authorities. Where cases are more complex and difficult to manage, high caseloads and fixed timescales can increase strain—raising the risk that cases become overwhelming, with potential escalation of harm and risk management demands.
Hawkins Social Work can provide the time, space, experience and professionalism required to manage such cases effectively, to conclusion, and in the best interests of the child involved.
